Eleventh meeting of the Working Group on /2
Health in Climate Change
Virtual session 14 October 2024
29 October 2024 Original: English
Scope and purpose
Climate change continues to be recognized as one of the most pressing health challenges of our time,
and recent global and regional developments underscore this urgency.
The 2023 Declaration of the Seventh Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health (Budapest
Declaration) sets out a broad spectrum of commitments by Member States in the WHO European
Region to address the health impacts of climate change. The Working Group on Health in Climate
Change (HIC), established under the European Environment and Health Task Force, continues to
facilitate dialogue among countries and stakeholders to promote the implementation of the
commitments taken in the Budapest Declaration, facilitating the dissemination of state-of-the art
knowledge and supportive initiatives, promoting synergies, and facilitating coordination at the
international level. The Partnership for Health Sector Climate Action, launched at the Conference,
aims to facilitate the building of a regional community of practice to share approaches, experience
and research as countries chart pathways and solutions to developing climate-resilient, low-carbon
health systems.
At the global level, the first ever health and climate change declaration, endorsed at the UN Climate
Change Conference (COP28) in 2023, presents a historic milestone. The 2024 World Health
Assembly resolution on climate change and health and the prioritization of climate change as one of
the six strategic pillars of WHO’s Fourteenth General Programme of Work for 2025-2028 set strong
ambitions for Member States and WHO in the area of climate change and health.
Knowledge generation is a key element needed to unlock climate action. The scale of research on
climate change and health has increased in recent years alongside the rapidly expanding engagement
of research institutions and health professionals in climate and health work. Achieving WHO’s
ambitious climate and health goals requires a shift in how research is conducted and evidence is
generated. To address this need, WHO is currently developing a global Research Agenda for Action
on Climate and Health (REACH), to serve as a blueprint for future research and policymaking.
The eleventh meeting of the HIC Working Group aims to update participants on current developments
and to share knowledge and experiences. The meeting also aims to consult the HIC Working Group
as part of the process to identify regional research priorities to drive forward WHO’s strategic
objectives on climate change and health. Specifically, the meeting will:
• Provide information on ongoing global and regional initiatives and developments in health
and climate change, including on the UN Climate Change Conference (COP29), and provide
updated information on the implementation of the Budapest Declaration;
• Summarize the key findings from the 2024 Europe report of the Lancet Countdown on Health
and Climate Change and other key reports, with a focus on regional data and evidence;
• Present the latest developments in heat-health action planning and warning systems, and share
insights and lessons learned from recent initiatives in various countries;
• Explore the knowledge base, emerging experiences and capacity needs to facilitate climate
action in the areas of mental health and climate-resilient and sustainable health systems; and
Scope and purpose
Page 2
• Introduce the REACH framework and consult with the HIC Working Group to identify key
research needs and priorities across WHO's core focus areas in climate change and health (see
separate documents attached for further information: the REACH scope and purpose, REACH
background information and the REACH summary of research themes and priorities).
This meeting is expected to deliver key updates on WHO’s work in climate change and health, take
stock of recent evidence and experiences, and outline research priorities for the WHO European
Region. These discussions will offer Member States a comprehensive view of progress in climate and
health policy, scientific developments, and key areas for advancing research which can setting a
common direction for future efforts on shared priorities in this area.

SCOPE AND PURPOSE
Climate change is widely recognized as one of today’s defining health challenges, and addressing
the interlinked challenges of climate change and health is a priority for WHO, including as indicated
in the Fourteenth General Programme of Work (2025 – 2028) in which the WHO set out climate
change as one of its strategic objectives.
The scale of research on climate change and health has increased in recent years alongside the
rapidly expanding engagement of research institutions and health professionals in climate and
health work. Countries are also making meaningful new commitments to climate and health action,
through initiatives like the WHO hosted network Alliance for Transformative Action on Climate and
Health (ATACH).
However, a significant gap remains between the urgency of and commitments to action, and
progress towards global climate and health goals. While many factors contribute to this gap,
knowledge generation is one key element needed to unlock action. In the 2021 WHO global health
and climate change survey of national ministries of health, countries report that insufficient evidence
is a leading barrier to implementing national health and climate change plans.
Achieving the WHO’s climate change and health goals will require new types of evidence and new
ways of generating research. The WHO is therefore developing a global Research Agenda for
Action on Climate and Health (REACH). The principal objectives of REACH are to:
1. Establish a shared agenda of forward-looking research priorities that can catalyze actionable
research and support the translation of evidence into policy and practice.
2. Foster stronger alignment between the research community and those who use research
evidence for decision making – communities, program implementers, policymakers and
others.
3. Expand the scale and maximize the impact of climate change and health research funding,
guiding funding partners to support research aligned with community and decisionmaker
needs.
4. Advance inclusive, equitable research that centers and meets the priorities of the most at
risk of climate change.
REACH will update WHO’s 2009 Global Research Priorities for Protections Health from Climate
Change and builds on WHO’s 2021 climate and health research gaps report.
To develop the REACH agenda, WHO will host a series of technical consultative workshops in each
WHO region and at the global level. These technical consultations will bring together researchers,
practitioners, policymakers, and civil society partners to jointly discuss and prioritize the research
themes and questions needed to advance action towards WHO’s focus areas of work in climate
change and health. In this way, REACH will catalyze a more demand driven approach to research,
by establishing research priorities that are driven by the evidence needs of practitioners,
policymakers, local communities, advocates, and other end-users, and informed by anticipated
trends in climate change, health systems, technology, and policy.
Scope and purpose
Page 2
To achieve the REACH objectives, each technical consultation will consist of a two-part online
workshop, using facilitated, interactive breakout group dialogues to identify and discuss: priority
areas for program and policy action on climate change and health and emerging trends that will
affect work at the climate-health intersection; gaps in the current knowledge base that hinder action;
key areas of research needed to fill knowledge gaps and advance action; principles for prioritization
of research themes; prioritization of research themes; and needs and opportunities for implementing
REACH.
The specific objectives of the first round of technical consultative workshops taking place for REACH
include:
1. To introduce the REACH goals, objectives, framework and process
2. To identify the key trends and factors that will impact climate change and health, and facilitate
or hinder action on climate change and health over the REACH timeframe
3. To identify and discuss research and evidence needs for future-looking, action-oriented
climate change and health research across each of the WHO’s core focus areas of work
4. To discuss the principles and criteria for prioritization of research themes
5. To conduct an initial prioritization of identified research themes
6. To inform subsequent discussions on implementation of the REACH agenda
